We are a boutique litigation firm in Atlanta. We represent plaintiffs in serious personal injury, wrongful death, and class action cases, and we take only high-value, meritorious cases. Every case we file is investigated and prepared for trial, not a quick settlement.
Full and complete financial compensation matters, but it isn’t everything. Through legislation, by refusing to settle unless changes are made, and by sharing their stories, our clients have saved millions of people from serious injury or death.
Twice Voted Best Personal Injury Law Firm in Georgia

Founder Matt Wetherington is nationally recognized for his trial record and consumer advocacy, and he was one of the youngest lawyers inducted into the ALM Verdicts Hall of Fame. Our associates have been recognized by Super Lawyers, 40 Under 40, and Lawyers of Distinction.

The Wetherington Law Firm Has Recovered Millions for Our Clients
Our attorneys are highly skilled and respected by opposing counsel and the judges presiding over our cases. In many cases, settlement is not possible until a judge rules that the proper defendants have been named, the claims asserted are valid, and there is enough evidence to proceed forward to a jury trial. By that point, it is too late to fix problems in a case. It is important that you start with an attorney that has the experience and resources necessary to put your case in the best position possible. Our attorneys have literally spent months in the courtroom presenting cases and obtaining record-breaking verdicts. We also have attorneys that have spent years working for defense firms and know the traps that are set by corporations and their insurance companies.
How To Hire The Best Lawyers For Your Case
Hiring a personal injury lawyer is one of the most important financial decisions you can ever make. There are a number of attorneys who hold themselves out as “experts” who have never tried a case or even settled a case involving catastrophic injuries or large financial losses. It is important that you ask any prospective attorney about his or her experience with your specific type of case. Not all lawyers are the same!
If we accept your case, it will be on contingency. That means that you do not pay anything up front and only pay us if we win your case. If we do not accept your case, we will help you find a lawyer who can. We generally only accept cases involving significant injuries, financial losses, or serious threats to the general public. However, we know many good attorneys and will make sure that you do not have to search around for someone to accept your case.
